The Hijaz Mountains[1] (Arabic: جِبَال ٱلْحِجَاز, romanized: Jibāl al-Ḥijāz (Hejazi Arabic pronunciation: [dʒɪˈbaːl alħɪˈdʒaːz]) or "Hejaz Range" is a mountain range located in the Hejazi region of western Saudi Arabia. The range runs north and south along the eastern coast of the Red Sea, and can thus be treated as including the Midian Mountains,[2] and being part of the Sarawat Mountains,[3][4][5][failed verification – see discussion] broadly speaking.
